Today’s episode #37 of the Professor Slots podcast is a sort of catch up episode for getting somewhat caught up with my state-by-state blog articles for you, my podcasts listeners, as well as the growing number of readers of my state-by-state blog articles. So, in this one and only podcast episode, I’ll be covering the current state of slot machine casino gambling in 12 great U.S. states and one great U.S. territory.. In this episode, I will be covering Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Again, for you, I simply have to get caught up. Thank you for joining me for the Professor Slots podcast show. I’m Jon Friedl and this is the podcast about slot machine casino gambling. It is where I provide knowledge, insights, and tools for helping you improve your slot machine gambling performance. “Jon Friedl from The Professor Slots Blog reveals all of his tips and tricks for thriving in the casino environment. Discover how to assess casinos to pick the best near you, choose winning slot machines, and identify your gambling goals: being entertained, earning comps, winning take-home cash, or combine them. Jon has won 90 taxable jackpots and a luxury car in 9 months of slots play - and made a profit at slots gambling since 2013.” On Last Week’s Episode… In case you missed it, on last week’s episode I went over Winning Strategy #7, Return Afterward, which is my own best personal slots strategy I first used to win jackpots and cycle bankrolls for players club rewards points. Sync your own slots sessions to a specific casino’s operating rhythm: Win, walk away, return afterward. Also last week, I reviewed Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Puerto Rico slot machine casino gambling. In Oregon, VLT-style slot machines are available at 9 tribal casinos as well as a limited number of VLTs in bars and racinos. In Pennsylvania, I discussed how state laws passed late in 2017 will soon result in substantial changes to casino slots there. And, in Puerto Rico, the lingering effect of September 2017’s Hurricane Maria on the islands casino industry. I hope you enjoyed listening to my last episode as much as I enjoyed making it for you. ProfessorSlots.com Podcast Episode #37 Copyright 2018 Jon Friedl, LLC Page 1 of 34 RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VI, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY Slot Machine Casino Gambling 2018 Programming Update (Optional) Before getting started with the first segment of the show, I wanted to provide a quick programming schedule update. Without getting too deep into it, I’ve been educating myself this last month on how to be a better blogger. In part, this is due to the rather tremendous response I’ve gotten online from my series of state-by-state blog articles. Frankly, they seem well liked. So, this has impressed upon me the need for this podcast to be more in sync with the online publication of those articles. Consequently, I’ve made the decision to simply get caught up. That means this one podcast episode will cover 13 state-by-state blog articles at once. Having already covered 43 of these blog articles, today I’ll be taking us through to the end of the first series of my 56 blog articles. Next week on this show, as I have already started doing with the blog series, I’ll start again from the beginning to understand what has happened with each approximately one year after originally researching the condition of slot machine casino gambling in that state, territory, or federal district. Thanks for your indulgence and patience with this quick update. Now, let’s get on with the show! Call To Action #1 (add transition/bed music) Remember to visit professorslots.com/subscribe to get my Free Report Revealing … The top 7 online resources for improving your gambling performance, including the one I’ve used as a top-tier slot machine casino gambler. Introduction Up next is the first segment of the show on slot machine casino gambling. Here, I provide a brief overview of the current state of gambling in a U.S. state, territory, or federal district emphasizing, by far, anything of interest to slot machine casino gamblers. Up first is Rhode Island slot machine casino gambling 2018. Here goes! Rhode Island slot machine casino gambling consists of two pari-mutuel racinos having video lottery terminal (VLT) style slot machines along with an additional racino expected to open on October 1, 2018. ProfessorSlots.com Podcast Episode #37 Copyright 2018 Jon Friedl, LLC Page 2 of 34 RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VI, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY Slot Machine Casino Gambling 2018 Each of the VLTs are regulated by the state lottery agency, which receives a share of each machine’s revenue. All VLTs are programmed to be able to play six or more games, including slots, blackjack, keno, and three versions of poker. The Twin River Management Group owns and operates the Twin River Casino in Lincoln and the soon-to-be-opened Twin River Tiverton Casino Hotel. On November 15, 2017, Twin River chairman John Taylor spoke about their racino in Lincoln, stating, “Twin River is the seventh largest casino in America right now….” From mid-2016 through mid-2017, the average payout return for VLTs was 90.91% at Twin River Casino in Lincoln and 91.08% at the Newport Grand Casino. Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Rhode Island The minimum legal age for all forms of gambling in Rhode Island is 18. Slot Machine Private Ownership in Rhode Island Next up is a usually short statement about slot machine private ownership, which I have included in case you live in this U.S. state and are considering owning a slot machine. Here it is: In Rhode Island, it is legal to privately own a slot machine. Gaming Control Board in Rhode Island The State of Rhode Island’s Department of Business Regulation’s Division of Gaming & Athletics is responsible for the Newport Grand Casino and the Twin River Casino. It is also responsible for the collection of taxes as mandated by state law. Further, “The section promulgates rules and regulations for pari-mutuel facility operations; regulates simulcast-wagering operations at licensed pari-mutuel facilities, and oversees the licensing of Newport Grand facility personnel.” The Rhode Island Lottery is run by the government of Rhode Island, and a charter member of the Multi-State Lottery Association. Since the Lottery was established through constitutional amendment and passed by the Rhode Island state legislature in 1974, it has transferred nearly $7.1 trillion to the State’s General Fund. ProfessorSlots.com Podcast Episode #37 Copyright 2018 Jon Friedl, LLC Page 3 of 34 RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VI, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY Slot Machine Casino Gambling 2018 Casinos in Rhode Island In this section, I’ll discuss Rhode Island gambling establishments. As usual, the website links for each casino, assuming they have set up a website, is available by clicking on this segment in the show notes available at professorslots.com/e37. The largest casino in Rhode Island and, reportedly, the seventh largest casino in America is the Twin River Casino in Lincoln, located 10 miles north of Providence. It has 4,200 gaming machines and 92 table games. The racino under construction, the Twin River Tiverton Casino Hotel will be 95,000 square feet, have 1,000 VLT gaming machines, 32 table games, restaurants, and an attached 84-room hotel located on 51 acres. Tiverton is located in the East Bay section of Rhode Island. The Newport Grand Casino has over 1,000 gaming machines and zero table games. Newport is set on Aquidneck Island, connected by bridge on the northern side of the island by Mount Hope Bridge to the mainland at Bristol. However, the Twin River Management Group acquired the gambling license for the Newport Grand Casino in 2015, and plans to transfer it to their soon-to-be-opened casino property in Tiverton. Therefore, the Newport Grand Casino property will close immediately upon the opening of the Twin River Tiverton Casino Hotel. Summary of Rhode Island Slots 2018 In summary, Rhode Island slot machine casino gambling consists of two pari-mutuel racinos having video lottery terminal (VLT) style slot machines. A new racino is expected to open on October 1, 2018, but a currently open racino will close due to transfer of its state gambling license to the new casino property. Each of the VLTs are regulated by the state lottery agency, which receives a share of each machine’s revenue. All VLTs are programmed to be able to play at least five other games besides slots, including blackjack, keno, and three versions of poker. Reportedly, the Twin River Casino in Lincoln is the seventh largest casino in America. Also, from mid-2016 through mid-2017, the average payout return for VLTs was 90.91% at Twin River Casino in Lincoln and 91.08% at the Newport Grand Casino.

  • Oregon State Lottery Director's Paper Video
    OREGON STATE LOTTERY DIRECTOR’S PAPER VIDEO LOTTERY COMPENSATION RATES and RETAILER CONTRACT 2015 JANUARY 29, 2015 I. BACKGROUND On June 28, 2015, the current retailer contracts expire. By this date, the Oregon State Lottery must have in place new retailer contracts to provide for the sale of Lottery products to the public. Without the Lottery’s network of retailers, the Lottery cannot sell its products, either traditional or Video Lottery. Thus the continuation of our contractual relations with our retailers is essential to generating revenue and meeting the Lottery’s constitutional and statutory mandates. II. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS (a) Balance of Goals: The Oregon Lottery Commission is required by law to maximize revenue for the state while providing a reasonable rate of return for the retailers who sell Lottery products on behalf of the Lottery. “In establishing its schedule of payments to contractors, the Oregon State Lottery Commission shall undertake to develop a system that maximizes the net revenue to the state for the public purpose consistent with providing a reasonable rate of return for contractors.” (emphasis added) ORS 461.445 In litigation brought by individuals seeking to maximize Oregon Lottery revenues available for education, the Oregon Supreme Court had the opportunity to interpret this statutory language and provide guidance on how the Oregon Lottery Commission is to accomplish this task. “Under ORS 461‐445, the Lottery is to “undertake to develop a system” that has two goals, viz., ‘maximiz[ing] the net revenue to the state” and “providing a reasonable rate of return” to the retailers. In that context, the 1 outcome—a “system”—is to be the result of a process— “develop[ment]”—by the Lottery that harmonizes two competing goals.
